And this is where Snyder's business experience, which as anyone who's been in any kind of large business for very long will tell you, is as much WHO you know as it is WHAT you know.

Joe was a true leader who understood how to motivate, empower, and respect people. What Snyder is showing me here is the classic Old Boy Network in action, and if it goes down like this, I won't be surprised if this whole thing is in flames by week five next season.

Just so everyone's clear on the implication I'm making, it's that booting GGggrilliamss because Vinny doesn't like him, and going after The Fossil because "he has ties with Cerrato" are about the worst ways you could run your business if you care at all about what the experts at the bottom who do the work (in this case, the players) think.

Real leaders hire smart people and then get out of their way and let them do their jobs.
